pull a Theranos

When you know you are guilty, your trial is scheduled to start at a certain time and you get pregnant in order to win the sympathy vote with the jury.

To pull a Theranos is to time a pregnancy sk that you are heavily pregnant or welcome a child right at the time when a trial is about to start and there is overwhelming evidence of yout guilt and you're more likely than not facing jail time too. Just like Elizabeth Holmes in the trial against her and like Ambet Heard in the trial against a british tabloid.
